Gratuitous:  CFJ 1451 includes the following qualifier:   "I note that 
both of these were exceedingly simple cases of non-standard messages. 
Messages that are more complex or less clear will require testing by 
CFJ and may be found to lack one or more components of Hofstadter's 
identity of messages."

I think the timing of truth values and disclaimers is in fact "more
complex and less clear."  For example, if disclaimers work immediately
forward, it would imply they could work immediately backwards, with
connotations that a "message" never leaves a technical domain of 
control because we'd never be able to tell if it were "finished".
